Emulate a mobile device by resizing window and setting user agent. Devices: iphone-14, iphone-14-pro-max, ipad, ipad-pro, pixel-7, galaxy-s24. Or use custom width/height.

AI agents invoke safari_emulate to trigger processes or run actions in Safari. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.
safari_emulate can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.
Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

Emulate a mobile device by resizing window and setting user agent. Devices: iphone-14, iphone-14-pro-max, ipad, ipad-pro, pixel-7, galaxy-s24. Or use custom width/height.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Safari MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the Safari MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for safari_emulate: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Safari. Nothing to install.
safari_emulate is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the safari_emulate rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for safari_emulate. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
safari_emulate is provided by the Safari MCP server (safari-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
